Get Healthy – Stay Healthy!
Visit the ECC Health Center
Let’s stay healthy this season! The ECC Health Center is offering a free flu vaccine for currently enrolled ECC students with Fall 2012 ID and sticker. Students should come to the Health Center during walk-in hours for the vaccine.
Some tips to remember as flu season approaches:
- Wash hands often with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread that way.
- Stay home if you have flu symptoms (fever and cough, sore throat, or runny nose) to avoid infecting others. Do not go back to work with a fever.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes (cough or sneeze into an arm or shoulder or into a tissue). Seek medical care for severe respiratory symptoms such as difficulty breathing or for dehydration from vomiting and/or diarrhea.
- Keep your distance from people who are coughing.
- Avoid sharing personal items such as eating/drinking utensils, toothbrushes, and towels, especially with ill people.
- Eat well, be active, don’t smoke.
The ECC Health Center also offers a variety of FREE Services and FREE Workshops. Participants are asked to sign up 15 minutes before the workshop begins. Here is a list for Fall 2012:
